Trigger a Document Processing Configuration through Web Service (internal Document Processing, not IDP)
We have many customers that want to use Document Processing configurations but do not want to use local folders to store the documents. Instead, they will scan it from the multifunction devices directly into the Docuware cabinet, in our case, through Ricoh Smart Integration.
Once the document is in the cabinet, we build a workflow to call the Document Processing configuration web service. Currently this is being done with IDP, but the customer wants to use the internal Document Processing, not IDP.
It would be great if Docuware could expose the end point of Document Processing configurations setup on the…

Expose user-placed stamp coordinates to Workflow / Platform API
When a user manually places a stamp on a document, the position of that stamp can be semantically important.
A typical example is supplier invoice processing: a user places a stamp next to a specific invoice line to associate an internal article code with that exact line.
Currently, if a hidden stamp is used to collect a value and a workflow subsequently creates the final visible stamp through the DocuWare Platform API, the original position selected by the user cannot be retrieved or preserved.
The workflow/API can only use predefined coordinates or automatic placement. This breaks the visual relationship between…1 vote -
Allow Editing of Local Data Connector Connection Details Through the UI
According to KBA-35754, connection details cannot be edited and users must delete and recreate the connection.
However, the Local Data Connector UI allows users to edit and save connection details. This creates confusion because the documented behavior does not match the actual UI.
In a recent customer case, updating connection settings would have required reviewing nearly 100 workflows if the connection had to be recreated, resulting in significant administrative effort.
Our testing showed that editing connection details directly in the LDC UI worked successfully without issues.
We would like DocuWare to officially support editing connection details through the LDC UI…2 votes -
Expose document processing metrics for external analytics
We store around 200k documents a year across six cabinets and management wants to see trends — how many invoices come in per week, what's the average time from receipt to approval, which departments are slowest at indexing. DocuWare's built-in views don't really do trend analysis or cross-cabinet comparisons. It'd be great to have an analytics-ready data feed or even a pre-built data mart we could query. For now we worked with a team we found when looking to hire power bi consultant and they set up an ETL job against our SQL backend, but that breaks every time DocuWare…

Extending the (REST) API to be able to use an Edit dialog while Updating Index values
When storing data via the REST API, you can use a Store Dialog. With this dialog you can make sure data is being stored correctly via all the rules and selection lists etc. that are configured in the dialog. (to prohibit other values to be put in)
What however is a massive shortcoming is if you want to update index values. In this case you are not able to use a dialog. This means an API Update Index command can send incorrect data into the system, even though you have configured all kinds of business logic in DocuWare. This means…6 votes -
Custom Actions in Web Client (Toolbar & Context Menu Integration)
Introduce the ability to define and execute custom actions directly from the DocuWare Web Client UI, both in the toolbar (right panel) and in the document context menu (right-click).
Today, integrating external systems or custom logic (e.g. AI processing, OCR correction, data enrichment, or external workflows, whatever ) requires indirect approaches such as workflows, external links, or background automation. These solutions are powerful but not always intuitive for end users and lack a seamless user experience.
The proposed feature would allow administrators to configure custom actions that:
Appear as buttons in the toolbar and/or as items in the right-click context…

Support JWE as a method to encrypt URLs
Currently, Docuware supports a rather .NET specific method for encrypting URLs. We have an application that should retrieve documents from Docuware using URL integration. This application natively supports Java Web Encryption (JWE) to encrypt (parts of) a URL. This is not compatible with the way Docuware expects URLs to be encrypted. Since JWE is a standard (RFC 7516) that is widely used by many applications, I think supporting it could be of real benefit to customers. Ideally, the encryption method should be configurable on the Docuware server.
We had to resort to implementing a URL redirector: this takes a JWE-encrypted…

Request for Product Enhancement: Enable Scheduled Refresh for DocuWare Power BI Connector
The DocuWare Power BI Connector does not support scheduled refresh.
We have been informed through DocuWare Support that this is due to the current product specification.
However, scheduled refresh is essential in order to always view the most up-to-date information on Power BI dashboards. Without this capability, it is difficult to operate dashboards effectively in a production environment.
We strongly request an enhancement to the DocuWare Power BI Connector to enable scheduled refresh. This improvement would significantly increase the usability and value of the product.SRNumber : SR-282397-B8X2W
6 votesThank you for your idea.
Currently DocuWare is not able to create a connector for Microsoft Power BI supporting scheduled refresh.
Microsoft only allows "Certified Connectors" for their Power BI Service. The hurdles for getting certified were not reachable in the past for DocuWare.
It looks like Microsoft has shifted to a different path and does not certify anymore existing connectors. You can read more here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/empowering-our-customers-to-shape-the-future-of-data-connectivity-in-power-bi-and-microsoft-fabric/

Vorschau externer Daten in Autoindexer & Workflows
Im Autoindex kann man unter "Datenquelle konfigurieren" eine spezifische Tabelle auswählen.
Dort erhält man bereits eine Vorschau der Datenquelle.Wenn man jedoch bspw. verschiedene Tabellen miteinander joinen möchte, ist man gezwungen das über den SQL Part zu gehen.
Dort hat man zwar die Möglichkeit die Syntax der Query validieren zu lassen (existieren Felder XY in Tabelle Z), jedoch ist dort kein Preview vorhanden um die möglicherweise komplexe Verknüpfung mehrerer Tabellen datentechnisch ebenfalls validieren zu können.
Ebenso gibt es in den Workflows ebenfalls die Möglichkeit, bei Datenverbindungen diverse SQL Where clauses einzutragen.
Dort hat man im Gegensatz zum AutoIndex jedoch keine…1 vote -
Add Clip/Unclip/Staple/Unstaple endpoints to Power Automate connector
Power Automate is great to handle multiple documents at a time (e.g. list all files in a tray & do something with them) ; it is missing some existing endpoints such as clip / unclip / staple / unstaple

URL Integration to open DocuWare Viewer with index dialog
The client needs a URL integration that opens the document in the DocuWare Viewer and also displays its metadata (Index dialog) in a new window. This functionality exists today, but it is configured per user in their preferences rather than as a setting within the viewer itself.

webhook creation of link to collect a feedback from a webservice and trigger index and workflows
We need to be able to create a link to give it to a webservice which will call that link to sent information like a status for paiement or an electronic signature.
When this link is called by external services we need to exploit the content to trigger a workflow or update an index the same way it is already possible for a webservice synchronous response1 vote -
Abitlity to use Response Header fields in Web Service activity within Workflow Designer
Hi,
Some external APIs returns data in the header of the response. It would be very practical to be able to access those data when attributing response to data in the Web Service activity of Workflow Designer.
Best,

Fix ODBC behaviour to use default schema for user instead of user schema
The current behaviour of ODBC Local Data Connector is not standard : when a user connects to an ODBC source, it can only currently access the schema with same name as user. ODBC standard is the default set of tables it should have access is defined as the default schema.

Add the ability to use a user's email to retrieve the associated UserName and/or UserID via a GET API call in Workflow Designer.
Often the email address is the only data we have for a user. In order to route workflow to the user, we need to be able to do a JSON lookup of the user from the email address. At this time it is not possible.

Add ability to set custom Headers to a Web Service OAuth2 configuration
Connecting to a D365 instance via OAuth2 requires a Custom Header to be set when obtaining the Token. This is not currently possible via the DW Web Service configuration page, there is no option for it. I am hoping for an option to define a custom header like this will become possible so that Docuware can connect directly to D365 environments.

API call to start a workflow
We should be able to trigger workflows via API with a trigger reserved for API calls. The WF would return its instance ID at the end of the call.
